However long your trip, you will have only scratched the surface of what is available. I've lived here for 36 years now and feel like I have only begun to see what's out there. Agree 100% with this, and what RR said in earlier posts. Mesa Verde is a do not miss location. Take the guided hiking tours of the cliff dwellings. Our youngest and I toured the 4 corners area when he was 13, MV was part of the trip. We also criss crossed the Navaho and Hopi Reservations in our travels, 20 years later he still comments about it. My only other advise is drinks lots of water and wear sunscreen! Have a ball.

Water and sunscreen for sure; the UV here is intense. And, if you are coming from down low near sea level, be aware that the altitude here WILL wreak havoc on you. You'll be short of breath after climbing one flight of stairs, and the zero humidity will have your skin and lips cracking like a dried up mud flat. Don't plan any heroic hikes. Trust me on this.

What Paul said. I'd swap Bryce Canyon for either Capitol Reef or Canyonlands, personally. Bryce is unforgettable if all you do is stand and gawk from the lookout points. Mesa Verde is one of the most thought-provoking places on the planet, IMHO. Stay in Durango to see that, and check out the train museum, even if you don't have time to take the all-day spectacular steam train trip to Silverton. Ditto on the Four Corners being blah. It isn't even in the right place, they now know, LOL! . Bryce Canyon ought to be at the top of your list. Early morning and late evening viewing times are the best. Also don't miss Goblin State Park.
